Biewer Terrier History

    Biewer History   

The Biewer is quickly working its way into the hearts of Americans everywhere. With its lighthearted, whimsical; child like attitude, this tri-colored toy BIEWER is gaining popularity with dog lovers everywhere. Equally as good with children as he is with other dogs of all sizes, the Biewer  is a loyal and fast friend to all. Although every dog has his own unique and special personality, as a breed, the Biewer Terrier is confident, happy, fun loving and even tempered. Generally speaking, Biewers are not noisy or especially difficult in any particular way.

With the introduction of the Biewer to America in 2003, there has been much speculation about its heritage. Mr. and Mrs. Biewer had been raising and showing Yorkies for 20 years, when on January 20th, 1984 the first blue, white and gold Biewer named Schneeflocken von Friedheck was born. This was the start of what is known as the Biewer Breed.

Mr. Biewer spent 5 years selectively breeding his dogs until he was able to establish and breed true to a standard uniquely the Biewer Breed. The dogs were then registered as Biewer Yorkshire Terrier a la Pom Pon. In 1989 when Mr. Biewer signed the standard for this wonderful new breed, it was that of the Yorkshire Terrier with the coloring being White-Blue-Gold. Mr. Biewer was not a man of many words, so the standard was short and brief.

Mr. and Mrs. Biewer kept a close reign on the Biewer breeding programs in Germany, so their quality breeding dogs were hard to come by and quite costly. Mr. Biewer died in 1997, and his wife Gertrud Biewer discontinued her breeding program shortly thereafter.
 
The Biewer is in the early development of the breed, their will be trials and errors as we work through issues one at a time to reach our goal. Since the arrival of the Biewers in America  the trials and tribulations have been great but in my heart I believe the sincere breeders will reach the untilmate goal and be united. I feel we sincere breeders do share the same goal, the best for this rare and beautiful breed.
 
I am proud to be taking an active part in the development of this remarkable new breed, the Biewer  and I welcome everybody to become involved in this exciting part of the its history. Biewer  Blessings does  DNA testing on all our Biewer's not just the breeding dogs, we are encouraging everyone to do the same.

ARBA, American Rare Breed Association, has accepted the Biewer as a rare breed in America. We will be showing with ARBA under the standard that they have accepted for our breed and will also exhibit with the IABCA International shows.

Our long-term goal is to take the proper steps to gain AKC recognition, realistic time line here is close to 10 -15 years,  so that we can exhibit as our own unique breed at AKC shows under the standard that best fits our exquisite Biewer.

How many times have any of us had the chance to be at the begining of a brand new breed.. With the wisdom panel having the marker for the Biewer we are well on our way..

Biewer is not a designer breed at all, Biewer is a new and distinct breed of its own in the United States since 2007, with its own DNA!
